Thank you very much for your proposal, I like to see this up and running. This is what we originally wanted. Fully functional transifex on fp.o allows all translators to continue working on same instance using same system without hassle for F15 software translation period which already started. Addition to this, translators can also be authenticated via FAS (cvsl10n group) as usual. It won't disturb other teams such as developers and web team by imposing the task for move as well. > > I also want to take this opportunity to thank Dmitris for his extremely > generous offer to host this massive project on behalf of Fedora. > However, apart from the reasons I gave earlier, I also can't help but > feel that this direction would be grossly unfair on Dmitris and his > business.

If doubt, check Fedora weekly news, new translators joined are listed every two to three weeks. Hosting the system on Fedora home is fair to all. noriko > > Cheers > Rudi > -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
